Milwaukee Consignment Favorites and Royal Staffordshire

August 17, 2011 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 6 Comments

I love consignments and antique stores, I am fascinated by the uniqueness of each piece, I love to imagine the history of where the items came from, who used them,etc. I have been going to these two stores for over 19 years and although I do not favor one over the other I often find more things to buy at one store more than the other.

Legacies is in Glendale, Wisconsin and in addition to their storefront they also hold estate sales. I will warn you, this store in crammed to the rafters! They recently expanded but it is sometimes a little challenging to get around the store because the treasures are EVERYWHERE! Think of a hoarder house on steroids, often the furniture is stacked two or three pieces high, there are stacks of art piled on the furniture, dishes on top of tables stacked above your head.  They add new stock I believe everyday and they take on consignments certain days of the week but I do not know the days , you would have to call. The store shares space with a lawn and garden place so parking is very limited, I think there are about 15 spaces for parking.

The store sells everything from antiques, lighting,  to fine art, to “new” gently used furniture, to outdoor items, including furniture to statuary. The prices can go anywhere from $5.00 to a $6,975.00 table and chairs.

Chattel Changers is in Milwaukee on Capitol drive, it is midway between Lake Michigan and The City Market, so if you shop too much you can go up the street to the City Market and have a snack, like the chocolate cake I featured yesterday. There is street parking on all around, and they have people to help carry your stuff out if you need it.

There are two levels to this store, the main level and the basement. I think the least priced pieces are down there. I am so excited because I purchased, 8, 6 piece place settings of Clarice Cliff Blue Staffordshire Tonquin Transfer ware, plus a serving platter and a serving bowl, for …..$90.00! There is no crazing, no cracks, no chips, nothing, it is all in perfect condition!

    AND I THOUGHT that MINNEAPOLIS WAS GREAT!!! Oh these are a treasure for sure my friend. I have to say that a good part of my furniture is from consignment stores and I painted most of my pieces. I LOVE THEM!

    I am from Wisconsin, so these pics were a delight from your posts! I also have The Sisters Mortland to read and The Recipe Club, waiting. I love Kohler and it has been way to long since I have stayed in the "big" house. I always love your perspective! Hope you have a glorious day! Blessings.

    Such great resources…and what a score on the blue Tonquin…one of my favorite patterns of transferware…I only have two little plates. Wonderful when these pieces are released to be re-loved!

“Learn to love and appreciate the good in others “Learn to love and appreciate the good in others.” Good afternoon friends, it’s the last day of February, which is called heart month, not only for Valentine’s Day but for heart health as well. Just because we are turning the calendar page doesn’t mean we should forget that A). We should love and appreciate each other and B). To take care of our hearts! Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women? Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart! Have a great day! #heart #hearthealth #vintagestyle #love #heartshaped #scrabbletiles #handmade #handcarved

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
